Do I have to set Mdi information? How can I access the parent form and it's controls?

pass a reference of the parent to the dialog window's constructor and
expose as public properties in the parent what ever u need to access
from the child
 
Hi mark,

I guess Bijoy is suggesting this way
/////
class MyForm : Form
{
ParentForm _parent;
public MyForm (ParentForm parent)
{
_parent = parent;
}
}
/////
And as Bijoy said, if you want to access the controls in the parent form,
you need change their Modifiers to public (by default is private) Or define
a Public property to expose them.

Does it answer your question?

Hi mark,

If the Dialogbox just needs some information from the parent form for one
time,
it's a simple solution to define some public field to get these information.
You may also try defining a method to set these information into the dialog
box object to
de-couple the parent form code and the public variable.

If you have any further questions on this issue, please feel free to reply
this thread.
